I have this minute seen yet another posting in a writing group of "Write the saddest story you can in four words". The number of words can be tweaked, but the instruction is always for "saddest"
"Dying is Easy. Comedy is Hard." That maxim of acting and writing is the only explanation I can conjure for this repetitive challenge. People are addicted to misery.
Well, I put it to you all: write the funniest (or most uplifting) story you can in...(roll two dice) seven words.
Perhaps it should just be "as short as possible". Over a sentence and you might as well finish it as a book.
I haven't actually given it any thought at all. I only stomped over here to crack off this rebuttal-challenge. Let's see if anything is possible...
